Zheng Xiong's actions attracted the attention of the Wan family leader. The young man could not sit still and the city was not deep, so he could understand, and the same was true for his own son.
However, it is obvious that Zheng Xiong should not be compared like this. He has done several major things that benefit the people of Li at a young age, and his career is just around the corner.
In terms of status and fame, officials who are now in the eighth rank are also county magistrates in the same place. When they see them, they must salute and bow.
That is to say, Zheng Qi took Zheng Xiong with him today. As a junior, Zheng Xiong performed the courtesy of a junior, so he could chat with Zheng Qi in the chief seat with dignity.
Seeing that Zheng Xiong couldn't sit still, Master Wan didn't dare to neglect him. This was today's protagonist.
"My nephew is boring. My daughter admires my nephew very much after hearing his deeds. I have never been able to meet him. I wonder if my nephew can fulfill my daughter's wish today."
As soon as he heard the question, Zheng Xiong wiped his mouth. When it came to business, due to the inequality of status, the question was inevitably a bit short.
"Your Majesty has already praised me. To be honest, this junior is here for a blind date. If this junior and your daughter have a crush on each other, the three matchmakers and six betrothals will be here today. If we don't have feelings for each other, it's better not to waste the time of the two families. .”
Head Wan was stunned by Zheng Xiong's words and could only say awkwardly.
"My nephew is really quick to talk to. In that case, my back garden is quite clean. My nephew will go and sit for a while. My little girl will be here soon."
"Wan Fu, please take Mr. Zheng to the back garden."
"Wan'an, go to the back house and inform the young lady to meet Mr. Zheng in the back garden."
The head of the Wan family did not hesitate and directly asked the servants to make arrangements.
Zheng Xiong also followed Wanfu to the back garden.
Along the way, it turned out that the head of the Wan family was indeed in a good family. It took a long walk to reach the back garden.
Passing through the arch, there are small bridges and flowing water, standing pavilions, surrounded by rockeries, and several potted plants that are evergreen all year round. It is particularly refreshing in this winter and spring.
Zheng Xiong walked to the small pavilion and sat down. Wanfu consciously went to bring tea and snacks. When he was ready, he went out to wait.
Sipping tea and eating pastries, Wanjia's dim sum is really good, especially this sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
There are no additives from later generations, and there is no saccharin that can kill people. It is slightly sweet, with a hint of the unique fragrance of osmanthus. I couldn't stop eating it and ate several pieces in a row.
I ate too much and felt a little bloated. I took a sip of tea and stood up to prepare for digestion.
At this time, a girl ran in furiously, talking as she walked.
"Where is the person who wants to go on a blind date with me?"
Zheng Xiong was stunned when he was in front of him, and the two of them looked at each other.
The girl had a small round face, two big bright eyes, black hair hanging down to her waist, and a long blue skirt that added to her beauty.
It is very similar to the comfort of later generations.
Good looks, a bit heartwarming.
"You are Zheng Xiong. You are just an ordinary person. Did you really cause the cowpox? I am really disappointed to see you in person."
Zheng Xiong smiled bitterly after hearing such straightforward words. It was really a reward for this world.
I just said this to someone else's father, and retribution came immediately. What should I say? But as a straight man, I can say whatever I want.
"I am Zheng Xiong. As a person, it doesn't matter if I look ordinary. What I rely on is not my face, but my talent. Look at you, I look pretty good, but my words are not nice."
When a girl hears this, she feels quite happy when she compliments herself on her good looks, but what does it mean to say something unpleasant? Does it mean to praise herself or to hurt herself?
"Is this how you talk to girls? No wonder you can't find clothes in the 19th century, old man."
"I am an old man, you are not an old woman. I am only one or two years later than others. You are three or four years later. I am not as good as you."
Zheng Xiong is not used to it. The only person in this world who is afraid of is Lao Zhu. There is no need to be afraid of others. They are all on Lao Zhu's blacklist. Enemies do not exist. They will be gone after a few years of patience.
A spoiled little girl is nothing. She has seen so many beauties in her later lives that it is impossible to fall in love with her at first sight. In her previous life, she was single for thirty years and only fell in love with her.
"Are you a man who bullies a woman?"
"You won't know if I'm a man until you try it. I admit that you are somewhat pretty, but that doesn't mean that everyone has to give in to you and praise you when they see you."
"You are a gangster, you are a bad person, I want to tell my father."
"Oh, wait a minute, if you can't make it, you can sue your parents. You're still not a woman anymore."
"I don't care, I'm going to tell dad and let him teach you a lesson."
The girl ignored Zheng Xiong and ran to the main hall crying, complaining to the head of the Wan family.
Before Zheng Xiong could react, the girl disappeared and he quickly chased her out, but it was already too late.
In the main hall, the head of the Wan family was listening to his daughter's cry, and Zheng Qi was listening from the side.
It was nothing at first, bickering, that's what happened all the time, but when I heard the expressions on the faces of the two family heads behind me, something was wrong. You'll know what it means to give it a try.
The head of the Wan family looked a little ugly, and Zheng Qi could only stand aside in embarrassment. At this time, Zheng Xiong also rushed over. He happened to hear the slurred part, and could only walk to Zheng Qi's side in embarrassment.
After hearing the cry, Wan's head wanted to get angry. He had never scolded his precious daughter and did not dare to speak loudly for fear of scaring his daughter. But Zheng Xiong was better off. He came to the house for a blind date and had no sense of sympathy at all.
But Zheng Xiong is an official after all, and he can't tell when he will be promoted. Besides, as for scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, it is hard to offend a small businessman like himself, so he can only hold back his anger and speak.
"My little girl is ignorant and has neglected my nephew. Let's just do it today. I will come to apologize to you another day."
Hearing this, Zheng Qi also knew that it was time to see off guests. His own son was not being reasonable and was taking advantage of the girl. It was really embarrassing. It was just the right time to see off guests, so he had no shame in staying any longer. He said quickly.
"My son and I were rude. Don't blame me, Master Wan. I'm going to say goodbye. I will come to apologize someday."
"see a visitor out."
The servant led the way, and the two of them left Wanjia in despair.
In the carriage, Zheng Qi looked at Zheng Xiong faintly, as if to say: I always thought you were a gentleman, and you didn't go beyond that at home, but I didn't expect you knew so much.
Zheng Xiong could only sit inside with an embarrassed look on his face, not daring to look at Zheng Qi.
After a while Zheng Qi spoke.
"Let's go to the next one."
